DIT is looking to recruit 5 – 6 leading companies in Ontario to visit the region.

The Northern Powerhouse is UK Government’s ambition to bring together the great cities, towns and rural communities of the North of England and Wales to become a powerhouse for the UK economy, with modern transport links, a revolutionary new style of governance and increased investment. The creative industries, especially media and digital, are right at the heart of the Northern Powerhouse initiative. Since inception, the region has recorded 127% growth.
